good news: the tires are quieter than prior tires and mileage did not change even though these are new tires, so I expect better then the prior (average 41 mpg overall) with this new tire once it wears in a little.
Bad news: these tires have very soft sidewalls which affect handling a lot! My prior grand touring tires did product a harder ride but had outstanding performance in handling. With the old tires if you wiggled the wheel the car acted like a go cart with instant response. With the new Gas saver tire when you wiggle the wheel the car does nothing, the sidewalls absorb the driver input with it's softwall flex ! it has what I call a soft loose play in the wheel leaving you with a disconnect feel of the road. Additionally, due to the soft sidewalls and tread design the car wanders on the roads that have rain groves (most of all California freeways)! If you hold the wheel firmly in a straight line the car still wants to wiggle right and left. I can make some people car sick. Pressure in tires are at MAX. with no real improvement.
Sorry I purchased this tires. I would gladly trade the 2 mpg improvement (maybe) for the performance handling and non road tracking I had before. Lastly, I paid almost twice as much for this tires then my Kumo grand touring tires which lasted 65,000 miles and had at least 5-10K left in them. I would not recommend this tire ever. Reports from other users comment that tread wear is poor and many have had sidewall issues. DO NOT BUY THIS TIRES.
Cannot wait it they wear out, they are getting replaced asap.
Side Note: I have 100,000 miles on my Prius and this is my third set of tires. I have tested tires in a prior life for road handling and in my book, the trade-offs on this tires are not worth it.

I drive in central-coastal California, so I can't speak to handling in snow. In rain and dry conditions, I find that their performance has been adequate, no complaints. Likewise on the other criteria, (which I rated "average" just to satisfy the requirements for posting).
My comment concerns the claim that they "improve fuel economy".
I am very conscious of fuel economy; I bought the Prius primarily for that reason.
I have been keeping obsessively meticulous records of my fuel usage and calculating my overall economy.
My records show my mileage with the original-issue tires, my overall mileage, and a separate calculation for my mileage since I replaced the worn-out originals with these.
I'm finding that I am getting slightly (about 2%) worse fuel economy with these than with the original-issue tires.
I know, 2% isn't much, (did I say " obsessive"?) but, still, it's in the wrong direction...
And, yes, I regularly check the pressure and balance of my tires.

This note is supplemental to my review of 01/06/17. As if the previously mentioned 2 failures in 7K miles was not annoying enough, the tire that replaced the second failed tire also sustained damage deemed unacceptable to repair only about 200 miles after it was installed. Based on the '3 strikes and you are out' principle I was not about to throw more good money after bad on these tires. As Chevrolet was only willing to sell me a tire identical to the 3 that already failed very prematurely and refused even to concede 3 failures in 7.5K miles is unusual, never mind 2 in 200 miles, I called Goodyear directly. Unlike Chevrolet, Goodyear cares about customer support and satisfaction and replaced all 4 of my Fuel Max tires with far superior TripleTred tires for only $181 more than Chevrolet wanted to charge me for a single untrustworthy Fuel Max tire. Having put 70K+/- miles on a set of previously owned TripleTred tires without a single failure under virtually identical conditions to those I used the Fuel Max tires under I can say with confidence that they are much better tires for rain and snow and only very slightly noisier and rougher than the otherwise inferior Fuel Max.

100% Fitment Guarantee

How We Review Your Order:

1010TIRES.COM goes through many steps to ensure that all orders we ship will fit your described vehicle.

To the best of our knowledge, the 1010TIRES.COM vehicle, wheel, tire and tire and wheel package selectors are accurate. Due to the possibility of typographical errors, modified vehicles, wear of vehicle, age of vehicle, or other factors, our proprietary selectors may not always be 100% accurate. Our vehicle database is sourced and verified by third party and to the best of our knowledge is accurate and up to date.

Please be aware that if you are installing aftermarket wheels, and/or changing tire size you are customizing your vehicle; therefore, the products you order from 1010TIRES.COM may not fit exactly the same as the factory settings.

If the order is approved for our 100% Fitment Guarantee and the product doesn’t fit we will offer you a replacement or a full refund, including shipping charges (*some conditions apply).

To qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee the following conditions must be met:

You must provide your vehicle information. The selected vehicle information must be accurate and complete. It is the customers’ responsibility to provide accurate and complete vehicle information.

The vehicle must be unmodified and has all original factory settings. Please note, older vehicles may no longer have factory parameters and therefore, may not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee.

You are purchasing a full set of tires, wheels or tires and wheels package. Less than a set (3 or less) does not qualify for our 100% Fitment Guarantee

We guarantee that the products you have purchased will fit your vehicle, meaning the following:

Rims: Rims will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment.

Tires: Will fall within the approved overall tire diameter, load rating, and speed rating (winter tires are approved to have a lower speed rating).

Tire and Wheel Packages: The package will bolt on and will not interfere on OEM brakes, suspension, or body components. Rims that require hub centric rings or different wheel nuts/bolts are still considered a correct fitment

When you place an order, you must select your vehicle information from the drop-down menus presented to you in the search by car areas. Please note, the description of the vehicle may differ from your markings on the car. Always refer to your user manual for a full description of your vehicle. The failure to choose the correct vehicle may affect the selection of the product that fits your vehicle and your claim for fitment guarantee may be rejected. If you feel that your exact vehicle is not listed please use “Notes and Additional Instructions” box to add your vehicle information at the checkout. A 1010TIRES.COM expert will use that information provided for verification.

Driver's Side Door Sticker Example

When upsizing or downsizing tires/wheels always refer to your original equipment tire size. Correct tire and wheel information can usually be found on the inside of the driver’s side door on a sticker. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that this information is correct prior to placing the order in order to qualify for Fitment Guarantee.

If you choose not to provide your vehicle information, or chose to skip Fitment Check, when placing an order our Fitment Guarantee is not applicable.

Once we receive your order our first priority is to check fitment. This is done by our fitment team that employs various methods and manufactures databases to check fitment. We may come to the conclusion that the products you have ordered will not fit your described vehicle. In this case, you will be notified and will be provided with alternative options. If you still feel confident about your original purchase and want to proceed with the order as is, we will ship it to you with a disclaimer to that effect and such order is not covered by our Fitment Guarantee Policy. If you need to return the order we will issue an in-store credit only and it’s subject to our Return/refund policy.

Since we don’t have your vehicle present to physically qualify it for fitment we rely on our collective experience and expertise, and consult numerous fitment sources to make approve fitment. Due to mechanical wear and tear of a vehicle, tires and/or wheels may not fit as intended. It is impossible to take these factors into account when verifying fitment. Therefore, on rare occasions when a customer claims the product does not fit we reserve the right to refuse such a claim based on our previous experience with the same vehicle and/ or manufacturers fitment data available to the public. In such cases we will request pictures showing the issues with fitment and will assess the claim on a case by case basis. If the claim for a fitment guarantee is denied our Return/refund policy will apply.

The 100% Fitment Guarantee claim will be denied in these circumstances:

The vehicle description chosen or described by the customer is not complete, inaccurate or wrong.

The vehicle is not listed when order is placed.

The vehicle is listed on the manufacturers website as an approved fitment but the customer or the installer claims the product does not fit.

The manufacturer representative has qualified the product as an approved fit for your described vehicle but the customer or the installer claims that the product doesn’t fit.

The order was not approved for 100% Fitment Guarantee and the order was shipped with the disclaimer to that effect

The order was approved as a fitment based on the previously filled orders for exact same vehicle and product shipped (we keep such data) but the product didn’t fit due to the mechanical wear and tear.

*Please note, you are responsible for a safe keeping and handling of the order that is under our Fitment Guarantee policy. If the order is returned and we determine that the product was damaged, this voids the Fitment Guarantee policy. The refund will then be issued as per our return/refund policy.
